HSV exit in winter? Muheim speaks out for the first time | OneFootball

Miro Muheim’s long-term future at HSV is still unresolved. His contract runs until 2027, meaning the Swiss player could leave on a free transfer next summer.

After five years at the Volkspark and a mixed pre-season that included an extended World Cup vacation and adductor problems, a move was very much a topic during the last transfer window. However, the 28-year-old never pushed for a departure. There was also little to read about concrete negotiations. As a result, potential suitors barely appeared in public. Only Olympiacos Piraeus was at times linked with the left-back.

Muheim himself has now confirmed that he has at least thought about his future. “I’ve been here for five years now and of course you look at whether and how you might change things and take the next step,” Bild quotes him as saying. At the same time, the Swiss player stressed: “A move was never my priority. I’m very happy to be here.”

At the moment, Muheim is only thinking about the present anyway. Neither a contract extension nor a winter move is on his mind. “You have to see how things go on the pitch. After that, we can see what might happen next. But I’m not thinking about that at all yet,” said the 13-time Switzerland international.

Muheim wants to fight for his place at HSV

For now, a completely different question is taking center stage. With Louis Lemke and David Møller Wolfe, Muheim has new competition on the left side. “Now I’m fighting for my place,” he admitted. “It’s different from the last few years. I never really had competition for my spot and was a regular.” Still, the new situation could be good for him, “if I approach it in the right way.”

Another possibility: because of the many injured attacking players, Merlin Polzin now has only a few options up front. At least in theory, it would be possible to deploy the ball-secure and pass-reliable Muheim in one of the two playmaker positions. In the friendly against FC Copenhagen (October 4), however, due to a lack of alternatives, he will line up in his usual role on the left flank.
